BuildQ | Founding Engineer | REMOTE (PT to ET overlap preferred) | $130K - $150K + equity | Full-time | Seed | https://buildq.ai/careers/founding-engineerHey folks! I'm Dylan, CTO at BuildQ, and we're building out our founding eng team. Today, a $200M solar project sits for weeks while someone reads thousands of PDFs before it can be financed. We make that review fast: customers order diligence from us, our agents do the work, and an expert signs off. We've processed 200,000+ documents across 1,100+ projects so far. We're remote, and the benefits are great (a startup with a 401k match!).We're looking for a Founding Engineer to join 2 of us on the engineering team. You'll ship to production on your first day, and you'll help shape what the future of BuildQ looks like.Stack: Rails, Python, React, TS, Postgres, AWSEmail with "HN Founding Engineer", anything you're proud to share that you've built, and any questions you may have.
